Turned petcock to reserve yesterday on way home. Damn...i almost came to a complete stop cause the petcock would not turn.I kept thinking I'm turning it the wrong way but it was super tight. Has anybody fixed this problem with out carrying a pair of pliers or replacing the petcock? If so please tell

The petcock on my Evo was difficult to turn with frozen, gloved hands until I changed it out for a Pingel. Schmidty's fix would be a much cheaper route to go if that works for you.
